Those are four of my kids, handling a snake during their visit to Detroit these past few days. I think the picture is gross. Snakes give me the willies. It's because I have such a finely-honed sense of original sin and the snake's role in the existence (or non-existence, as it were) of evil. * * * * * * * Okay, it's just because I'm a wuss. * * * * * * * One month of winter down. Two to go. * * * * * * * I envy the St. Louis Cardinals because of their beer, their historical success, but most of all, because they had Stan the Man. The devout Catholic died this weekend. Fr. Z had perhaps the best Catholic tribute. * * * * * * * How many Americans have read 22 non-fiction books in their adult lives, much less have 22 non-fiction books to recommend? Dylan Grice has presented his list of must-read books.. It's a great list and should interest anyone who finds current finance (and the recent history that led up to our current mess) interesting. * * * * * * * I was startled to see him recommend Bonner's Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets. I loved that book. From its prose to its ideas to its approach, it was unique and, I suspect, a masterpiece on some level. But I also thought Bonner was viewed as a crank, maybe also a smidgeon dishonest with his financial marketing ideas; in general, beyond the pale of respectable financial opinion. Apparently not, which I was glad to see. If you haven't read Bonner's book, I highly recommend it.
